What does it take to play the lanes like the great Parker Bohn lll? I'm seeking ball and release details. I understand lane conditions can affect these details but to generalize, playing up the 5-10 boards, do we look for High RG vs Low RG, High Diff vs Low Diff? Coverstock prep tend to by lower grit or do we need some polish to keep it from breaking early or burning up when on the edges?

Agreed!
In the maybe 95% case, balls, surfaces and drillings won't allow you to do what Parker does, UNLESS you are close to his speed, rev rate and the way he usually stays behind the ball.

A good start might be if you're speed dominant and you tend to NOT come around the ball, but simply buying the right ball, using the right surface and the right drilling won't get you there. They'll help you once you get there.

The benefit of two handed bowling is the easy power. Parker is a great bowler, but you're going to have a tough time emulating him. Frankly, if you ARENT having a tough time emulating Parker as a two handed, you probably shouldn't be a two handed.

I never said I was two handed. Where are these responses coming from??

When you bowl on the flat patterns your accuracy, or lack thereof, is exposed.  The pros bowl on very difficult patterns.  Most typical house shots have about a 9:1 ratio of oil from the middle to the outside boards.  This allows for miss room in both directions.

A few weeks ago I finished an agonizing month on a 43 foot pattern, with a completely flat 1:1 ratio, with 33 mls of oil.  Now that we're on a 40 foot 2:1 pattern it feels like paradise!

I am fine with two handed bowlers.  The only weakness I see from one guy to the next is their ability to really repeat shots.  Most spray the ball all over because the THS pattern allows it.  There are those who have done it for years, and have developed accuracy on difficult shots, and my hat goes off to them.

For those who want to experience what I'm referring to just get your house to put down something 3:1, or even more flat, and you'll find if your game is one that will  be comparable to those of the pros.

Parker Bohn III has done it well for decades, and made a name for himself with his talent as well as his sportsmanship.  He just bowls like Parker Bohn, instead of trying to do something else.  We would all do well to emulate his classic style, but if you don't just learn to repeat shots.  If you can repeat shots you should be able to find a way to score.

Also it is about more than accuracy.  If your roll pattern is overly aggressive with too much side roll it forces more out angle than is optimum on flatter patterns.  No matter how accurate you are in terms of release lane transitions like carry down make consistency difficult when you cant play straighter through the heads

Both skid flip and arcing can be useful. I've noticed that you should pick which motion enables the heavier part of the ball to hit the pin deck. I think that second of impact is more key then skid flip or arcing.

I know it was thank you g2, that's why I posted it.
